102 players played at Gordonvale Golf Club today, this was a very good number considering the weather outlook. Gordonvale presented the Vets with a very good course in light of the amount of rain they have had.

Thank you to ONE Golf at Gordonvale for sponsoring todays event and most of the events held at Gordonvale in 2010.

The AGM was held prior to playing golf. There were as many people at the AGM as there were playing. Thank you for your attendance.

There are only two more games for 2010, Tuesday 7th December at Atherton Golf Club, Single Stableford and second leg of the Patrons Trophy as the game at Babinda was washed out. Tuesday 14th December is our Christmas Lunch and Presentation, this is 8:30am Shot gun Start. Would appreciate all players book in prior to 8:15am to allow time to get out on the Tees. It is a 2 Ball Ambrose, ideally arrange your own 2 Ball, if not we will arrange pairings. Cost of the Christmas Lunch with Golf is members $27, visitors $50.

As the President is swanning around NSW for the next couple of weeks with a few others who are gamely representing our region in the National Championships at Port Macquarie, it falls on me to present a report. May they avoid all trees and water and bring back plenty of prizes.

Mareeba turned on great weather for the game today, as was indicated by the turnout of 103 players.

The greenkeeper is to be congratulated on the fine condition of the course, apart from a few trees being in the wrong place!

The scores reflected the course condition and the winners benefitted from prizes supplied by Drummond Golf who sponsored the event.

We welcomed two visitors from Coomella in NSW, Molly & Buster Krause and a new member, Lloyd Gilbert from Half Moon Bay Golf Club.

Remember subscriptions for 2011 will now be accepted, please have your Membership card for validation.

There are quite a number of our members heading off to Port MacQuarie NSW this week to play in the Australian Veteran Golfers Union National Championships commencing 8th November and concluding 12th November. I would like to wish all those members, good golfing, good luck and safe travelling.

The next games are : Tuesday 9th November at Mareeba Golf Club, Single Stableford, Tuesday 16th November at Cairns Golf Club, Single Stableford, 23rd November at Babinda Golf Club, Single Stableford.
